Riverside Continuing Care Centre is located by the beautiful Athabasca River in the community of Fort McKay. Fort McKay is located 49 kilometers north of the city of Fort McMurray.
We are comprised of both Cree and Dene First Nations. Fort McKay has experienced many milestones in its long history. The construction of a Continuing Care facility is only the most recent of its endeavours.
